In three months, time he had made up
his mind that Kitty should be his wife, and
about that time Kitty made up her mind to

something to do with it.

Iron and Steel Cars.


A Boston company is building rail-
road car OF steel, designed TO be lighter
and stronger then the cars now in use,
incombustible, and heated by furnace
outside of the car. The body of the
car will approximate Il cylinder and be
constructed like boiler. A compress
slble platform at each end lessons the
risk of teleseoping. The seats are TO
be bolted through the floor to the bot
tom plates of the car. Felt and hair
paddings are to be relied upon for
decorative effects and to lessen the
noise of the metal construction, and
the upholstery materials are to be made
incom bustible by chemical treatment.
The furnace is to be suspended under
the car like those now in use. on the
Reading railroad. This first car is ex-
perimenral, but if, as its designers
think. it can be made cheaper, stronger
and safer than n wooden car, it should
not be difficult to secure its introduce
ton on all railroad lines.-BostO1s Her

a Phenomenon Which, I'm Many Cases. 1s =
Puzzle to Observers.

Puzzle to Observers
The cause of phosphorescent light,
as well as its nature. is, IN many cases,
puzzle alike to the common and the
scientific observer. This light comes
from very different sources The APP
pearance of any fish that is partially
decayed gives the most common exam
pie. In the case of such decay. the
light may be attributed to the phos-
phorus set free. But the same name
is given to the light emitted by the
glow-worm or the firefiy. In this case
there is no such decomposition of ele-
ments- The phosphorescence of the
sea is referred to the presence of
minute medusa-creatures of the SIM
plest organism. There are some
species of fungus that are producers of
light. In these instances it seems to
be a result of the functions of life,
rather than phenomenon accompany
ing death.
This light is given off in some in
stances where the decay does not seem
likely to Hibernate any phosphorus. and
where, if any fungus is growing. it
can not be detected easily. A Scotch
writer. Sfr. w. A Smith, tells how he
was surprised at the appearance of a
piece of fir wood. In this country a
decaying maple log, lying in a wet
place, yields the best results.
During our walk through the woods
the other evening we came upon what
appeared to be a salt herring lying in
the road. Or turning it over with our
feet it seemed sloppy, and we foolishly
passed it. A few yards farther on an
other brilliant streak of light attracted
our attention. and we this time decided
to attempt its capture. A piece OF
paper was employed, to prevent an I'M
pleasant meeting, and we then lifted,
most circumspectly, what proved to be
neither more nor less than piece of
! Scotch fir from one of the fallen trees
alongside. Apparently a new break
was the phosphorescent surface, and
the night being wet as well as dark,
we suppose this had some influence.
After drying it next day we again tried
it in the dark, and it still showed bril-
! liantly; so the wet had naught TO do
with it. Under lens no fungus could
be seen. only the rough broken tibers
on the surface. - Youths Companion.

THE BLIZZARD.

Terrible Suffering Reported in Western
Kansas From scarcity Of Fuel and the
Sudxten Cold Snap
WICHITA Kan, Dec. 21.-Private advices
from the West are that four people frozo
TO death in Ashland, Clark County, Mon
day night, and a widow woman. Mrs. Riley,
and two children, near Digliton, Lane
County, were also fonnd dead yesterday.
Hale Cowley, a prominent real estate
man of this city, arrived early yesterday
morning from trip OF several days in the
counties of Clark, Comanche and Meaie,
and says that before the arrival OF the
blizzard many people there living on claims
were coming TO the towns and railroad
points for food and fuel. The drought last
summcA prevented raising any thing and
all provisions are shipped in, and the
scarcity of provisions was not less to be
feared than the scarcity OF fuel. In q num-
Der of towns there is little fuel, and all
means of transportation being cut of,
MANY fear great distress III the sparsely
settled districts.
leading railroad man of this city said
that with no interference TO traffic by snow
it would be as much as the railroads could
do to keep the people III Western Kansas
supplied with food and fuel. He ciains
that the phenomenal increase of mileage on
ali lines IN the State found rolling stock
not increased proportionately and there is
great need of freight cars and engines.
Concerning the coal famine out West tho
railroad official minated that he had
news. but did not wish to make known 10
the pubic exactly what it was. He gave
assurance, however, that matters were in
~ much worse condition than could be de-
sired. He did not hesitate to say that ii
traffic were impeded several days the peo-
pie would suffer. The people of this city
are considerably alarmed over the threat

NEW TARIFF BILL.
outline of the Administrative Tariff Re-
form Bill.

form Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2U-The Administra-
ton Tariff bill which will go before the
WAYS and Means Committee with the in
dorsement of Speaker Carlisle after tue
holiday recess, us the basis of revenue re-
form, contemplates reduction of s62, O00,-
GOD in the annual revenue. OF this amount
$5l000,000 is to come from reductions of
duties chiefly on man1f fractures and $l2,OO1,-
600 from adding wool, salt. lumber, coal,
etc.,'to the free list. The bill aims at
very extensive revision Of The present
methods of administering the tariff law and
at remedy ing Inconsistencies and inequali-
ties in the law as well as IL general reduc-
ton of the hig.i rate Of tariff taxes. 1t pro-
poses the substitution of specific for ad
Valorem rates where the latter are difficult
of enforcement. In the chemical, earthen
and glassware schedules numerous jul
dicous reductions are proposed.
In metal material reductions on iron and
steel are recommended. In the wool and
wooden schedule, raw wool being made
free, the rates on wooden fabrics are to be
so reduced as to take away about $4,000
900 upon the basis OF last years. importa-
lion. Inconsistencies as to rates on
worsted and wooden cloths are corrected,
and here occurs some Of the most impor-
tant changes proposed in the bill
The bill embraces the schedules pre-
pared for Congress last winter by Secre-
tary Fairchild, substituting specific for ad
valorem duties on silks, gloves and en-
broideries. 1t also includes the Hewitt
plan for the reform of the customs admin
istrative service, with sOme changes aud
additions suggested by treasury experience
since Mr.. Hewitt's bill was first introduced.
The measure, ii is said, is the result of
incaiculable labor aud care, and is the out
growth of years of study and experience
